"Little Charlie" was about four years of age and a bright and affectionate child, beloved by all who knew him.

We understand that the question of abolish- I Ing the fee system for county officers will be < Drought before the 8outh Carolina legislature ' it its next session. This question is one cvnlcb admits of considerable discussion, and many apparently good arguments can, and loubtless will be advanced, pro and eon. There seems to us to be no good reason, however, for a county to pay more for Its work j Khan flrut-flftfi* mnn Are willing and Avnn ' anxious, to do It for. Tbe "habltuals" among the office-holders will, of oourse, object to the abolition of tbe fee system, but this Is to be expected If fixed salaries are paid all county officers, there will be no guess-work as to what amount shall be raised when the tax levy is to be made out. Under tbe fee system there is no meanB of ascertaining what the expenses or a county will be for tbe next year, but if tbe county officials recieve salaries the sost can be determined In advance, almost a dollar. If the officeholders can make money by the fee system, why cannot the county do the same thing? The World does not advocate the paying of niggardly salaries. On tbe contrary, it believes that "Tbe laborer Is worthy or his hire," and that he should receive a fiilr remuneration for tbe labor performed But, on tbe other band, we do not oonsider that tbe laborer should receive more than his services are worth, and we further cannot Bee why an aspirant for offloe should not know beforehand Just what be Is to be paid per annum, irtbereeslna year amount to less^han a man Is worth, an injustice is being done him ; but if tbe sum total of the fees is more than the office should cost, then the Injustice Is being done the tax payers. In either case this is wrong. Pay a man what his offloe is worth, select competent men for the positions and there will be less complaint about the management or county adalrs, and tax payers and office holders alike will be better pleased.

"Go home, eat'agood supper; that's all the medicine you twant," said an old-fashioned doctor to whom a newspaper reporter bad gone for a nervine, or sedative or sleeping potion. "But, doctor, it Is eleven o'clock at night." "Well, what of it T Oh, I Bee, the popular prejudice against eating at night. Let me tell you, my young friend, that unless your itomach ys out of order, it is more beneficial to you to eat before going to bed than It is harmful. Food of a simple kind Induces sleep. "At what hour did you dine?" "Six o'clock." "Humph! Just what I thought. Six o'clock. Fourteen hours between dinner and breakfast. Enough to keep any (man awake. By that time the fuel necessary to send the blood coursing through yourBystem is burned out. Animals sleep instlnotlvely after meals. Human beings become drowsy after eating. Why? Simply because the Juices needed in digestion are supplied by the blood being solicited toward the stomach. Thus tbe brain receives less blood tban during the uuuns ui uuuiug, buu upcoming paier me powers grow dormant. ^Invalids and those id delicate health should always eat before going to bed. The sinking sensation In sleeplessness Is a call for food. .Wakefulness Is oftentimes merely a symptom of hunger. Sratify the desire and sleep ensues. The reeble will be stroger If they eat on going to bed. Some persons are exhausted merely by the process of making their toilet In the morning. A cup of warm milk and toast on retiring, or of beef-tea on awakening, will oorrectiL" "But is it not essential that the stomach ihonld rest?" "Undoubtedly. Yet when hungry we ihould eat. Does the infant's stomach rest as long as the adult's ? Man eata less often only because his food requires more time for digestion. Invalids ana ohildren at night may take slowly warm milk, beef-tea, or oat-meaL The vigorous adult can eat bread, milk, cold beef, chicken, raw oysters, or some other such food. Of course, It must be done In moderation. You start home now and take a cup of tea and a beef sandwich on the way, and I'll risk your sleeping. Goodnight!" A Plea for Good Roadsters. If more fanners realized the value and the advantages of having flrst-olass driving horses, there would be more of this kind round in the hands of those who till the soil Tor a living. The unalloyed pleasure of being ible to pull the reins over a horse that Is well trained and well adapted to road purposes, ought to be lnoentive enough to make farmers want to possess something fine in this line, but, says the National 8tockman and Farmer, the pleasure afforded in this conneotioh is but a small part of the consideration, [n cities and business centers the distance from one point to another Is often designated by the number of minutes It takes to travel It. Thus a residence Is three to five minutes' Tom a railroad station or a street car line, meaning that It takes so many minutes to walk to the station or street cars. If farmers reckoned the distance they live from their markets, post-offices, churches, etc., they might then appreciate more nearly the value of norses that travel well. A horse that will travel ten miles while another travels but six, will plaoe bis owner just as near hlB objective points, reckoning in this way, as the owner of the slower nag, although there may be a dlfrnMnno Af frtni* milflfl hfltiTAPn them rPHfo Kn. Ing true, the advantage of having the better ulass of hones Is apparent In case Of emergency the advantages in favor of good horses are apparent When a physician is needed in great haste, the value of a few minutes' time Is incalculable. The lives of many people have been saved by the Iron nerves and the speedy gait of horses that summoned the doctor, or to the one that took him quickly to where he was wanted. PaHturaffe. It is important that this be properly chosen especial lv for growing colts, says the American Agriculturist lr this is on very rich land, or watery, the grass will be too rank for the growth of fine, strong bones, and firm enduring musole. Colts grown upon such will be pretty sure to be wanting in spirit, slow of movement and deficient In wind, so much so that when in harness if put to a moderately East pace?which can only be done by a repeated application of the whip?they breathe painfully, sweat Intolerably and soon tire. The beBt pasture ground for colts is such as is well drained, or naturally rather dry, and if it abounds with scattered rocks afoot in diameter. these are not objeotlonable, but small Btones are, for the colts in running about are liable to strike on them to the injury of their hoofs, while they avoid the larger ones and rocks in their exercise. The grapB on suoh lands iB sweet and tender, highly relished by the colts, and very nutritious. Growing up on such, especially if limited to it. the feet and legs, and the bones of the whole body become extra strong, more like ivory than common bone grown on quite succulent pasture. For cattle the pasture need not be so select in quality, for they will do well on wet meadows when the water is generally a little below the surface of the soil, only occasionally overflowing for a few hours ana then drying off well.

Newt and Courier. Much of the staple coming in now 1b covered with cotton bagging, and the farmers In all sections of the State seem to be determined 1 to use it as much as possible. It Is turning, out much better than was at first expected, and goes through the compress about as well aajute. In fact, of a large number of compressed bales lying on one of the lower wharves awaiting shipment yesterday, those cladiln cotton la a great many Instances were less torn than those in Jute. The European Exobange have taken no action on the subject of covet Intra as yet, ac the demand for tbe new crop is so pressing they are willing to take any ootton senttbem. It is possible that some action will be taken when the demand is lessened by the Increased receipts, however, and all cotton men, both planters and factors, are awaiting the deoisfon quite anxiously. Some of the bales In cotton which have been sent here have been recovered, although this has only been In rare cases. A well-known factor Bald;'I have handled over 500 baiesof cotton put up In the Alliance bagging tbis year, and I have bad to recover but one, and lhat was a bale I received last week around which was wrapped a cover made of pieces of old rags and sheeting. It was in no condition to be shipped, and this bad to be done. But In regard to the statement that the factors are recovering tbe cotton generally, this U altogether a mistake. The regular Alliance bagglug Is doing well, and 1 do not think a single bale or It has been recovered In Charleston this year. "Many of the farmers are UHlng sheeting and otber such stuff, however, which will not stand tneslightest handling, and before they know it they will be getting themselves into trouble. The sheeting team all to pieces upon being touched by tne hooks, and cannot stand the compress, and tho result will be that some Liverpool man will get a big consignment of It sometime, In a miserable condition, and the Exchange will pass a resolution condemning all cotton covers. The farmers have started out to fight the trust with cotton bagging, but they can't fight It with anything that will go around a bale. The regular cotton bagging is good and will stand allrlgbt, but they must stlok to it. All of It has been accepted without question so far, and the buyers are taking it right along, and no trouble 1b apprehended, nnleas the rarmers continue using all kinds of old rags, etc. and In this case tne men across the water might kick. The sheeting they are using is very narrow, and does not cover the balei except on the sides &ad there is every opportunity for stealage. All a own has to do is to take a hook and rake as much cotton ofi the side of the bale as he wants." TO DRAW THE JURIES.

The Jury Commissioner for Laurens County is an bonorble man, and we have not the least susplolon that he would act otherwise than in accordance with his conscientious convictions of duty; but. for information we would like to know exactly how many names be has placed In the box from which he draws, and also the tlmethat has elapsed since thistllstof names has been revised.

Haddon & Co. Western Farm Mortgage*. The western farm mortgage, purchased of irresponsible brokers and loan agents, is beginning to show its uncertain value to careless eastern Investors. The experience In [Kansas has disclosed the risky nature of some of these Investments. Many farms bave been abandoned to the mortgagees. New companies bave been formed to carry these defaulted mortgages and to enable the farmers to work out of their difficulties.
